Tacomas in Minnesota?

no! but I always wanted the cool little button that comes with it
i had inquired about it a couple years after i had the truck, when i saw all the new Tacomas with TRD on the sales lot
iirc they wanted at least $2000 to equip my truck, i think they would've had to put in a new rear axle
but since i found out it is not really 'purposed' to prevent higher speed wheel slippage 'traction control or limited slip' and spinouts i chose not to

 

You could put in an air locker or LSD

 

someday, who knows

 

That nice 2020 I sent you has a e locker

 

i bet i could not fit that 2020 truck snugly into my garage
would have to mod the garage!

 

I bet you could. I have a tiny ass garage and mine fits. My tundra would even fit if I took the camper off and folded in the mirrors

plus you’d have 360 camera to make sure you don’t hit anything

 

My taco doesn’t see MN winters. But just picked up the wife’s wagon.

I love this thing, zips up my steepish driveway with all-seasons better then my GTI with snows.

 

I got the battery today, installed it. was having trouble with getting the brackets right hook to go low enough, ended up having to remove the stock tray. Is it gonna F up the paint of the wheel well without the tray? I need a bigger tray. found this

$57 TOYOTA Genuine (74431-0C020) Battery Tray

https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-Genuine-74431-0C020-Battery-Tray/dp/B00FZSDHGG but seems like a lot of money for just a piece of plastic. When I google it i find a bunch of other unrelated car battery stuff. Whats funny is the top result is a guy on tacomaworld asking for one.

I also seem to have more stuff connected to it than I realized and I really gotta get an AUX fuse box hah.

So for my fridge I run a wire straight from the battery to a fuse box under my drivers seat, which has a 12v socket wired to it, thats how I wire the fridge. I have been wondering if part of my issue before was maybe I didn't use thick enough gauge wire to wire the fuse box. don't remember what I used, I think I just bought the thickest I could find at walmart.

Ill probably do a test run and run the fridge over night and see how it lasts. Just a little worried about that wire, if its thick enough gauge.

 

I’ve got the tray in mine, it’s just a big piece of plastic. I’ve seen some people have just cut off the ridge on the side and used the stock one. The tie down is a little snug but shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

I’ve got the arb fridge wire kit, it’s 10 gauge. 10 or 12 is typically best for a fridge.

 

I have a 60a breaker feeding a 4ga welding wire to a 6 circuit grounded sub panel in the hab. From that, I run the fridge And other things on their dedicated circuit.

Before kiddo #2 I had the 1/3 seat in the back removed and a mounting tray for the fridge bolted in place. Wiring was directly under the seats to one of the 12v ports on the dash. I had done the 12v port relay fix for constant 12v power.

 

Pretty sure I used 10 gauge looking at it this weekend. Goes from the battery to a fuse box under my driver's seat.

 

Any LX470 guru's in here? I'll be flying down to AZ and have to drive back so am looking at vehicles to purchase and then sell when I get back so as to minimize the $1,000-1,500 completely out of pocket rental car scenario. Not looking to make a small fortune on the sale, but I've been talking with a guy who has a 2003 LX470 with 150k and all maintenance up to date. Is $15k for a Carfax verified LX470, no accidents, AZ car its whole life something I could maybe get $16,500/17k for in the metro area? I say $16,500 so as to cover tax/title/licensing, or at least partially.

 

Sport model?

 

I didn't think the LX's came with options/packages like Sport? The VIN build doesn't include Sport as an option. Mark Levinson sound, navigation, Lexus Link, wheel locks, and roof rack are listed.

 

Sorry was thinking GX470... I’ll shut up.

 

Thanks for trying to help! I appreciate it.

 

Hey guys, I am doing a giveaway on my channel. Sorry if this seems like a shameless plug but figured some people here might be interested. If you win and live in the twin cities I can personally deliver it to you. EDIT: although that depends on how far you are from me haha, likely would be cheaper for me to still mail it.

There is a wheeling event this Saturday in River Falls.

 

I think I said this to you once before(for my rexing v1lg), but I got a new rexing v3, if you need to do a review on the v3 let me know and we can meet up.
